im gonna need a Band-Aid
Motrin is the major brand for kids ibuprofen, probably has a lot to do with it.
That one is great because both spellings/pronunciations have been around for almost the same amount of time. Both are totally valid and the differences exist only to have petty arguments about.
No doubt.
They're called just plasters, over here.
Same. They get used interchangeably.
Gotcha.
Okay see this I did not know.
About 13 rounds of 9mm ammunition will get you 100 children's Tylenol.
Not just the British name, it's called paracetamol in the Netherlands as well.
That is a big old box of paracetamol. Fun fact: you can't buy paracetamol off the shelves in the UK in quantities anywhere near those in that picture - I think the maximum pack size is 16 in a box here. Not sure if it's different in other countries.
You can buy 250 count bottles in any drugstore in America. An adult dose is two pills.
Used to be 45p for a ton, when they changed it to 16 per pack the price stayed the same.... insane markup overnight.
Sure, it's not perfect, but it'll discourage some people so that's a good thing.
It's not just higher strength, it's an entirely different drug with different indications, different potential interactions with other drugs...
if you need a higher strength just take more, are you talking about ibuprofen 800mg tablets vs standard 200mg or something? I've never seen acetaminophen in a bigger amount than 500mg
I've only seen a trend towards the generic names with medical workers. If someone on the street is hurting they're gonna ask for the brand they like, and there's a high likelihood they won't know the generic name of it.
Same in the US. Every grocery chain and pharmacy here has private label generics for damn near everything, up to and including clothes these days.
